This is the kind of news that makes perfect sense: Star Trek 3 will be well served to pull from its own ranks for a fresh take on the script. (Pegg also follows the tradition of Trek actors helming feature films, with Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, and Jonathan Frakes directing various movies.) And of course, Pegg co-wrote the entire Cornetto trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) with Edgar Wright, as well as the TV series Spaced.
